Summary: The Five “R’s†of Education As parents we need to head into the school year prepared ahead of time for the days to come. If we are not then we can easily get caught up in the whirlwind and all of a sudden it is June again. If this happens we may find ourselves disappointed because we were not have been able to reach some of the goals we had for our family and our children. We need to treat these few weeks before the “crazy season†like a coach would treat preseason and go in with a goal and a game plan. Set up some time to process with your spouse the goals you have for the year for your family as a whole and for each individual child. What are some things that you would like to see different by the end of this year or some things that you would like to focus on.  This is the first “R†of education, reason.  What is the reason behind what we are doing this year?  The rest of this week we will be discussing the other five “R’s†which are recreation, routine, responsibility, and relationship. Don’t let this year run away with your family. Take sometime before it all starts to think through some of the areas of growth you would to have taken place in your family by June.  Listen to today’s podcast for more insight on this topic.
